Write a short summary of what happens in the film

In this documentary ad, we open on a dump outside Oslo in Norway, where we see a discarded BILLY bookshelf in a pile of trash. The price point next to it says the date and place of where it was found. We cut to an IKEA dresser abandoned in the woods, some IKEA stools on the street and an IKEA cabinet tossed away at a metal scrap heap. The film goes on to show many scenes like this, of real IKEA trash we discovered around Norway. Then, we see the same furniture being washed over and put back together, before being proudly displayed as the brand new collection from IKEA – The Trash Collection 2021. The film lands in the copy: The furniture we found just needed a wash and a few spare parts. See the collection and how we can throw less at IKEA.no.

Please tell us how disruption in your market inspired the work

IKEA is Norway’s largest furniture retailer, and also the cheapest. For many years, IKEA has established themselves in Norway as the place to go for nice and affordable furniture. But as a result of their low prices, Norwegians tend to see IKEA furniture as disposable. Every year, we throw away more than 3 million pieces of furniture. Which is a lot, when you think about the fact that we have a total population of 5,4 million people. So in order for IKEA to become credible for Norwegians when talking about their many measures towards a more sustainable profile, we knew we first had to address the elephant in the room. We needed to change people’s perception of IKEA furniture as disposable - by adopting a completely new and honest way to talk about our products.
